Facing the Mavericks, the Knicks are breathing thanks to the offensive offense
Four seconds from the end of the match, Jalen Brunson is sent to the free throw line to potentially give New York a three-point lead, but misses one of his two attempts.
With no timeouts, the Mavericks then found themselves forced to take a layup from their baseline. PJ Washington then find Derek Lively II in the middle of the flowing field swells it up Brandon Williams. The leader of the overflow Landry Shamet to score a basket should send the game into overtime.
American Airlines Center explodes, but the joy of Texas fans is short-lived as the refs call an offensive foul on Brandon Williams. Without a timeout, Jason Kidd can’t use the “challenge” and the Mavericks lose (111-113).
“Congratulations to the referee. “A lot of people wouldn’t have whistled at the end of the match, but it was the right decision.” assures Mike Brown. « He (Brandon Williams) wrapped his left arm (around Landry) and I saw it really well. I’m glad the judge saw it, but above all I’m glad he made the right decision. »
Landry Shamet saves the Knicks again
From the lead angle, at first we don’t understand where this offensive mistake is coming from, but in slow motion we see Brandon Williams wrap his left arm around Landry Shamet to take the lead.
The gesture that referee JT Orr, placed on the starting line of this decisive action, was therefore well placed to point out…
“I knew if something blew, it was going to be an offensive foul.” explains Landry Shamet after the meeting. “Did I think he was going to whistle?” At the end of the match, you know what the whistles are. Sometimes the referees let it play, sometimes we get a foul. »
After heat stroke against the Heat with 36 points last friday, landry shamet repositioned himself as the savior of the knicks on a discreet night, with 9 points on 3/9 shooting, including 2/3 from distance. However, this offensive miscue in the final seconds prevented New York (9-5) from conceding its second straight loss and allowing players from the “Big Apple” to remain in the Top 3 in the East.
